Re: error message

LaTeX old font

Apart from the fact that I can't help any further, I don't understand why you insist on a document with lower quality.
when the y&y/bluesky fonts came along, they were in fact much closer to knuth's design than we had all been used to, on our 300dpi printers. (indeed, here we tweaked the mode for ...

BibTeX UTF-8 Support

BibTeX is an 8-bit program. Things will go wrong when BibTeX tries to process anything that is represented outside of this range. (Material which is just passed through tends to be OK.)

Trouble with section numbering


I'm writing down my thesis and I'm stuck with a little numbering problem.

I renewed the way chapter and section are numbered:

\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}

Obviously, when I call a section with the \ref command, latex only displays the ...

Dot after Number in Heading

A short, simple question: how can I add a dot in the section numbering? I have "1.1" and I want to have "1.1."

Us it appropriate to quote the FAQ here? If so, take a look at this.

Redefining \@sect

I'm writing a class file in which I need the \@sect macro to function just like it does normally most of the time, but under certain conditions (as determined by the evaluation of an \if statement) to do something extra. If this was just a normal command, I would use the following kind of code ...

Changing Math Fonts



I'm a young professor working on my first set of lecture notes for a class I'm teaching. For the formatting, I want to have two sorts of sections for the book: one for example problems and one for example solutions. To differentiate the two, I'd like to be able to put one into sans-serif fonts ...
